7:30 isn't very early, but the sun struggles to come out, so Bear Down! Maybe we can hit 1000 before I leave for Dublin.

Kim Jong-Un 'Is Suffering From Chronic Gout'
Kim Jong-Un has not been seen in public for three weeks, and now an North Korea expert has a possible explanation: the leader has gout.
Since being filmed in July with a distinctive limp, speculation has been rife that the 31-year-old is in ill health.
Even North Korea's state media, which has tried to avoid the issue since Mr Kim's last public appearance on 3 September, has conceded that the leader has been suffering from "discomfort".
A voiceover for a pre-recorded documentary, aired on Thursday, said: "The wealth and prosperity of our socialism is thanks to the painstaking efforts of our marshal, who keeps lighting the path for the people, like the flicker of a flame, despite suffering discomfort."
According to Michael Madden, an expert on leadership in the secretive state, Mr Kim's extreme weight gain and family history reveals a lot about his condition.
"Based on his gait, it appears he has gout - something due to diet and genetic predisposition that has affected other members of the Kim family," he added.
Kim Jong-Un's father, Kim Jong-Il, died in 2011 after a heart attack.
Much of the speculation over Mr Kim's health had come from the South Korean government, who had monitored his recent absence from public life "with interest".
On Thursday, Mr Kim failed to attend a rare meeting of the Supreme People's Assembly in Pyongyang, his first absence since coming to power.

Fuller was safe. Great pick. I liked it at the time, but he's been a revelation.

Why the heck did they sit him? I thought that was just a Lovie thing.

They didn't sit him, he was in for the nickel package which is roughly 60% of snaps anyways. Generally, just throwing a rookie to the wolves isn't the best of ideas.

Fuller is full time now, so I guess you missed my point. Graham was a little underappreciated here, much as he seems to be in Buffalo.

I always thought quotes indicated Jon Hoke didn't like him more than Lovie not liking him. The year Hoke joined the bears was the year after Graham had some injury fill in time, but they had other corner depth and wanted to try him and Bowman/anybody at safety in the offseason. Graham had responded poorly to that and subsequently also fell behind Bowman and then Jennings of course in the next couple of seasons.

Bowman is another one - heard his name last night. I think I could have played corner against Washington. Graham's Chicago demise has always been a bit of a mystery.
